If dps / stats on the weapons / armor pieces stay like shown then TBC endgame stuff (t6/swp/s3/s4) will last till entry-level-raiding in wotlk...

I dunno. the dps on the entry level weapons is between end T5 and beginning T6. granted the stats suck, but the actual weapon DPS (~100dps for one hand) is in-line with drops from end of SSC/TK/S2 and start of the next level.

Keep in mind this is only beta and a lot of models for weapons will change!

And about them being boring and uninspiring.. I will have to completely disagree.  The models are finally based on on something epic and brutal (Norse mythology, vikings and all, you know the drill)..Even though I also liked the BC look,I find these models more appealing..My pally will finally look like an actual keeper of the light and not like a purple power ranger :/

I don't think the cideo for 'The Nexus' is working, at least, not for me.  Anyone else getting a message that it is no longer available.
